I really have no idea

Maybe you should have an idea, and a thought or two, before blindly following something you don't understand.


nor do I care to be honest

You'll make a perfect socialist.  Honesty is the bane of socialism, so of course you don't care to be honest.

Fucking fantastic job of taking something out of context to build a straw-man that you can attack

A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man."

The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition.

This technique has been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly in arguments about highly charged emotional issues where a fiery "battle" and the defeat of an "enemy" may be more valued than critical thinking or an understanding of both sides of the issue.

I didn't take it out of context.  It's your punctuation (or lack of) that's to blame. 

I suspect what you meant was "nor do I care, to be honest."  So yeah, I knew what you meant, but I had to let my inner asshole out for a spell.   Wink
